This is a true story.....I had to keep it a little short though,
cause I wanted to write about 50 lines or so, but the limit was 30
One of the worst days of my life.....my father just died
Now all my emotion came back that I had balled up inside
I hated this man.....he left me and my mom when I was three
I had so much anger built up......as far as the eye could see
Why didn't he love me?...Why couldn't he call or write?
All I remebered was his fro....even though he was tall and white
He never gave a fuck about me.....so now it's fuck you too dad
I can't even fake a tear for you....that sucks, it's too sad
I've just sunk to your level.....shit, I can't sink any further
Mom even turned her head....though I think it had hurt her
But it's like you're still laughing at me....saying "how's this for a twister
The reason I left your mom was to live with your older sister"
SISTER?!?!?!........How the fuck could this even be true
Mom, what the fuck?.....did you make him leave her for you?
How come you never told me about any of his other children
What about his life have i missed?....What else haven't you filled in?
All the years living with animosity....there was no need for the cruelty
I guess I'll just have to wait and hear his friends speak at the eulogy
Me and my sister were the next of kin.....I just met her too
Now me and a stranger have to see a dead man we never knew?
We were left alone with the body....I mean, it hardly felt right
But for some odd reason we both clung to each other and held tight
Now the eulogy is being given and his friends all speak highly of him
Now........I'm wishing that I had at least tried to love him
They talk about how funny he was and we all shared a tear
And how he traveled to play basketball....so he was never here
And he was a champion in pool.....and once he bowled a 279
Even talked well for a deaf man....I wonder if in heaven he signed
People talk about his ability with kids.....and how he was awful generous
For all these years I hated this man.....
....but now I am envious
